Come & Sing American Choral Music

Come & Sing American Choral Music

Venue: St Peter's Church, Hammersmith

Date: February 7, 2026 at 2:00 PM (Europe/London)

In an engaging afternoon of music-making, we will explore five contrasting works that trace the evolution of American choral style across the 20th century:

Leonard Bernstein Make Our Garden Grow
James Erb, Shenandoah
Morten Lauridsen, O magnum mysterium
Randall Thompson Alleluia
Eric Whitacre Sleep

We’re delighted to welcome Graham Ross to lead this workshop. A highly sought-after conductor and composer, he is co-founder and Principal Conductor of The Dmitri Ensemble, and Director of Music and Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge. His recent collaborations include the London Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Singers and BBC Concert Orchestra, and in 2025 he directed the Danish National Vocal Ensemble at the BBC Proms. Graham brings particular expertise in American choral music, and his 2024 album Rolling River received widespread critical acclaim.

Whether you’re a seasoned singer or simply love the thrill of making music with others, you’ll find plenty to enjoy. So join Petros Singers in Hammersmith on Saturday 7th February for what promises to be an energising and thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. We will end the workshop with an informal performance of the works we have learnt – friends and family are welcome to come and listen.

We hope to see you there!
